Option Block 231: April Fool Joke from Tesla?

Interview Block: RCM’s Matt Bradbard talks about interest rates. When might they reverse course and head upwards? What is the Eurodollar?

Trading Block: We actually saw a rise in VIX today. Tesla was today's big news: they made a profit for the first time this quarter! Apple bouncing off the lows.

Odd Block: Calls trade in North American Palladium Ltd. (PAL), large put block trades in Health Care Select Sector SPDR (XLV), and calls trade in Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO).

Xpress Block: Tesla and Apple were both lighting up the desk at OX today. The first returns on the weeklies on futures options show that they are a resounding success. How are the Minis doing?

Around the Block: Looking forward to a somewhat quiet week ahead.
